I shoot both digital using a Canon 5DMark III and with film using a Cambo 4×5 camera. I print all of my own images on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper using an Epson R3000 printer. All inks and paper are archival to ensure longevity. In addition I do all of my own framing using archival mats and conservation anti reflective glass. Every step is taken to produce an image that will last indefinitely. With each click of the shutter I try to capture a moment of  beauty…of mystery…of wonder. Photography is my passion.
